about MICROPOWER

Micropower pioneers the bSaaS concept in Brazil — battery-Storage-as-a-Service will be a game changer for the energy market in the country.

It's in the media:

the company

Large energy consumers, such as retail stores, shopping malls, hotels and industrial plants can greatly reduce their electricity bills using batteries for power storage. Batteries can supply power during peak hours, when prices are highest.

In addition to reducing costs, consumers now have a clean, reliable energy source that can be triggered much faster than conventional backup generators.

The service does not require any upfront investment from customers. It is paid for by sharing the savings generated.

Thanks to its large partners and specialized team, Micropower has become a benchmark for quality and trust in Brazil.

: German colossus with over 100 years of experience in Brazil, and a symbol of excellence

: The American company that stands for innovation, technology and resilience.

: Norwegian company with multinational presence and reference in search of new technologies and sustainability

: Pioneer in the Brazilian energy market, serving more than 1,000 customers

Solutions

The use of batteries can shape a more favorable energy consumption profile for greater cost-effectiveness in the production of a product or service. Customized solutions are developed to meet specific customer needs.

Why bSaaS?

- Brazil currently uses more than 4 billion liters of diesel and oil products to generate electricity.
- Diesel is associated with higher costs and pollution, and is not always a reliable alternative
- Brazil has abundant renewable resources, and can generate power from clean sources
- bSaaS offers clean, reliable power and quick response as a backup solution, besides cost savings

Applications in Brazil

Generation
at Peak

batteries discharge power at peak times, reducing consumption when energy is most expensive and then recharging when energy is cheaper (off peak)
Reducing
demand

Additional power is supplied by batteries when demand exceeds a defined level, so clients can choose lower Contracted Demand with lower costs
BACKUP

Batteries supply needed power when demand exceeds a defined level, so clients can choose lower Contracted Demand and reduce their costs

Benefits

Cost
Reduction

Optimized power consumption profile brings cost savings
Sustainability

Less CO2 emissions during peak hours, more sustainable consumption
Infrastructure

No need for immediate investments in power generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure
Productivity
and Reliability

Operation continuity is preserved in case of voltage drop or power failure; investments in electricity generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure

PEAK SHAVING - MANAGING BACKUP DEMAND

Batteries supply needed power when the demand is about to exceed a predetermined level, so customers can safely choose lower contracted demand and reduce costs.
